Inhaltsangabe

Based on presentations at the EMI (Engineering Mechanics Institute) 2016 conference held in Nashville, Tennessee, in May 2016, the 11 papers in this volume consider the modeling and impact of windstorms on the built environment to mitigate natural hazard threats to high-rise buildings, long-span bridges, power transmission lines, and other critical infrastructure, as well as the complexity of simulating nonsynoptic and synoptic wind flows. Engineers from North America and Asia address National Institute of Standards and Technology research projects in wind engineering, the relationship between design load level and the lifetime of an individual building and its elements, the influence of the cross-wind modal response on the damage and simultaneity of the structural response of a building, wind loading on tall building structures in terms of performance-based design, the application of wind fairings for building aerodynamic optimization, wind response control of tall buildings with flexible foundations using tuned mass dampers, simulating the role of axial flow and stay cable vibrations through a perforated wake splitter plate, bottom plate slope effects on aerodynamic behavior of a hexagonal cross-section bridge deck, the effect of longitudinal forces on transmission towers to non-symmetric downburst ground wire loads, the effects of chamber shape on simulation of tornado-like flow in a laboratory, and computational vs. wind tunnel simulation of atmospheric boundary layer flow for structural engineering applications.
